Sonic Unleashed Story
Were-Sonamy Ch. 2
As the Beast carried a frightened and wobbling Amy in his arms that bounced as much as he did, running on his three legs, and holding her in the other arm, the firing robots blazed forth their jet-packs to try and keep up, following them into the forest. The Beast rolled into an open field, hoping to lose them in the foliage. Grass was dark green and swaying with the cool wind, the moonlight was beautiful, and the trees were copying the grass.
The two lay low as the Beast remained above her, having set her down and hung himself only inches away from her back, as he looked intently up at the lights that moved through the trees…
Amy gasped, having been flung down the hill and rolled to her back from the Beast, but looked up to then flinch in surprise as she felt her head bump against his, and blushed.
She quickly forgot the whole awkwardly close situation as she noticed the lights flicker up ahead like beams from a lighthouse, and ducked further down, as so did the Beast, being awfully protective of someone he apparently had only just met and saved.
After the noises of flashing lights and streaming metal bodies went quiet with crickets, Amy looked up to the Beast, and back towards the forest, as he began to raise himself off of her.
"Are…Are they gone?" she asked.
He stood up, walking a little away, and nodded. 'For now…'
"Wow," Amy stood up, a little taken aback. "That was... amazing!" she twirled with her hands up high, smiling and kinda dancing around in delight. "We took off so fast! Kinda like Sonic's speed! Oh, but not as fast as Sonic, of course~ But I hadn't been scooped up and rolled around since..!" she stopped herself,… and sorrowfully looked down as she lowered one of her arms to her chest.
She sighed, before turning back and having calmed down. "Thank you again for saving me." She missed Sonic terribly, but at least she wasn't alone in this darkness anymore.
The Beast stared at her, before looking away as if guilty. 'Amy… You worry too much.'
He smiled a little at the way she was acting though, then was alert to any noise he heard.
Amy looked over to him, seeing he was cautious and thought maybe to calm him down too.
"Hey, its okay..." she walked up to him, reaching a hand up to try and pet him. "You were very strong and brave out there! I'm safe now because of you! They're long gone by now, so you don't need to be so tense!" she tilted her head and closed her eyes, putting on a very confident and relaxing smiling on her face, hoping this would reassure him of their safety.
He moved away, raising his head back and then looking left and right, lowering his head before taking glances at her.
'But, he didn't do it out of non-trust,' Amy thought, 'he did it out of something else... I can tell...' she nodded to herself as her eyebrow furrowed, knowing something was… strangely appealing about this monstrous hero of hers.
'That was close..' thought the Beast, 'A little too,…awkwardly close.'
As he went over to a little spot in the field with flowers near it, looking down at it and thinking some more…
'I have to make sure she's okay, but also make sure she doesn't start liking me.' The Beast looked at the moon, almost in disgust, curling a side of his mouth downward, along with an eyebrow of distaste. He used to very much enjoy the moon, but now? It symbolized something else to him… something he didn't particularly like.
Looking back down, He noticed a flower a little wilted, struggling to not be blown and curved even more down by the wind.
He used his big fingers to straighten it up.
Amy watched as the Beast helped the little flower stand upright and put his head down near it; A tender look in his eyes, in like a lonely, or sad way.
Amy had to repay him... and she wanted to see this creature happy.
"Excuse me,.." She said and then smiled as she saw his eyes look at her. "I've decided what to do to repay you!" she happily placed her hands on her hips, knowing full well that she wasn't going to leave her new friend sad and alone. Sitting down a little close to him, she was determined to make him smile, And kicked her feet in a bouncy way, knowing that cheeriness was contagious!
The Beast raised his eyebrow again and looked a little annoyed.
"I'm going to be your friend!"
The Beast's eyes grew small and then like a teenager began hitting his head on the ground. 'No, no, no!'
'Great….' he thought, skidding his head up from the ground and looking annoyed. 'exactly what I didn't want... now she'll never leave me alone .." he keep hitting his head, repeating the same thing. "Stupid, stupid, stupid.'
Amy didn't get why his eyes grew small but thought that meant he was overjoyed and surprised to finally have someone whose not scared of his appearance, and sees the truly good soul inside of him. But when he started hitting his head she didn't quite get it, but figured it was his way of releasing excitement.
"Um... I'll get you something to eat..." she didn't want to think to long about his action and what it meant.
She walked over to a nearby tree and looked for fruits she could climb and pick. "Nope..." she said seeing none."Maybe..." she looked to other trees and saw one with some red shiny apples, looking easily within arms reach, at least, from a branch nearby and beneath it.
"Here we go!" she lunged up and tired to climb the tree, embracing it with her two little arms and trying to climb up it, shimmying.
She got half way up when a branch broke and she fell.
"DARN IT ALL!" she growled out, and tried again. This time, rubbing her hands together, before slamming herself against the tree again, squinting an eye at the struggle, and began to attempt the scaling height up once more.
The Beast heard a loud thud-like sound and looked to Amy as she tried to climb the tree multiple times, but kept falling down on her rum.
He looked at her in a confused way. 'What the heck are you doing..?' He raised an eyebrow, and tilted his head forward from the side, not sure what she was up too.
Amy looked at him and frowned, worried he didn't have enough faith in her to get him something to eat. "Don't worry! I'll get it." She stood up, ruffled some leaves out of her hair, dusted off her dress, and looked angrily back at the tree, not even in the slightest thinking of turning back now. "I just haven't climbed trees in awhile." she marched right up to it, making excuses.
The Beast sounded like he was laughing when she fell again, which only made her madder.
Turning to him with tears forming in her eyes, she shook her head and glared up at the tree, arms down and shaking with tight fists, "LISTEN HERE, TREE!" she pointed an accusing finger towards it, as the Beast stopped laughing to hear what she was going to say.
"I might not be a good climber. BUT!" She stomped her foot down, "AS CHAOS AS MY WITNESS, I WILL CLIMB YOU! So just let me okay!? It's for a new-OFFPH-friend!" she then attempted yet another full-body spread onto the tree, and began squirming her way up again.
The Beast shook his head, looking down before peeking up and smiling. He knew what was going to happen next...
'She's going to fall and decide to knock the tree down...'
Before that happened, he got up, standing his full height, seeing her already start to lean towards some far away apples, and watching her foot start to slip every now and then. He sighed and began making his way over to her, walking steadily.
"NO!" she screamed as he stopped in surprise.
"I CAN DO THIS!" she said as she grabbed another branch. "Besides! Sonic The Hedgehog would never consider marrying a girl who couldn't climb trees!"
The branch cracked a little.
"Oh no.." Horror filled her eyes.
The Beast rolled his eyes at her comment, and shook his head at her silliness, before noticing the crack of the branch and turning more intently towards her, scanning with his eyes the situation.
"No no no no! Don't you DARE-!" Amy felt her little branch near her feet start to give way, and looked up with chibi-tears in her eyes as she once again, suddenly fell. "HEEELPPP!" She cried out as a stream of hopeless tears flew out from her eyes as she descended down.
"RRRUAHH!"
A large swish of air and a powerful throw launched the Beast's hand through the air, his arm stretching out and catching Amy before she fell.
She kept screaming, before looking under her to see the beast's hands pushing her up to an apple, having her hands so close to her face, she suddenly loosened them and looked to him. "Uh... "
She blinked, amazed by his ability, before smiling at his kindness, and then grabbing the apples from the tree. "Thank you." She stated softly, looking down to him.
He smiled.
She returned it happily.
The Beast pulled his arm with her back to him, and gently put her down, as she managed to grabbed 2 or 3 more apples on her way down.
She then extended her hand, and offered him one. "Here! You do eat fruits... right?"
The Beast rolled his eyes and nodded, plucking the apple as if offended slightly out of her hand, thinking her better than asking him that, and took a rather large and intimidating bite out of it, but not intentionally meaning it to look that scary, as it made Amy flinch slightly…
'If I wanted to eat you, don't you think I would have done it by now?' he kid in his mind, lowering his eyelids at her foolish fear.
'Save your food, gain it's trust, I guess she has a point in some weird, horrible way.' He then reasoned with himself, but knew full well she wasn't thinking that deep into it.
When maybe… sometimes she should.
"Well, I was just wondering." She pouted, feeling insulted and lowering her ears slightly, not sure whether to feel anger or upset at his judgment of her.
The Beast must of knew she thought that because then he ruffled her hair as if saying, I'm kidding.
Amy smiled and put her hand up on his hand, laughing.
Once more, he freaked a little and quickly took his hand away, shyly moving back and sitting down, eating his apple whole, and chewed.
He was sitting like a dog… and it made her think… maybe…
Very slowly she rose her hand, and while his eyes were closed, enjoying his tasty snack, having his head low and not really having his guard up, she placed it on his head.
His eyes shot up, and she flinched.
A cold stare in his eyes, before the expression vanished, and he turned his head more towards her, having her hand slide on his forehead and stared at her.
Not moving, he seemed to just let her do what she wanted too.
'Climbing trees for total strangers? Ah, well. I might not want you to tag along, but you should at least know you're friend doesn't dislike you.' He teased, but thinking it wise to at least acknowledge his fondness for the girl.
But… that doesn't mean he wasn't doubting this. 'I mean… I guess it wouldn't hurt THAT bad to let her stay.. just a bit longer... but when the sun comes up... I gotta go."
The acceptance made Amy smile in glee, as she giggled and continued to gently rub his head, making him feel it was worth it to let her see she little actions paid off in the long run…
Speaking of running…
He turned his head to look back at the forest, still concerned…
Amy noticed this and didn't like being ignored, after all, she had tried to calm his fears about them returning, and she wasn't going to have all her efforts wasted on her first goal not being completed.
She skipped forward and hugged him, before scratching up near the back behind his ears, and then near his chin.
The sensation made the Beast nervous, before suddenly giving into the 'massage' as he thought it, and laid down as she pet his back, getting some of his tense tension in his muscles out, and full-out relaxing him.
"Hehe~ I wonder if Beast's purr?" She whispered to herself, looking up and putting a cute finger up to her mouth at the question.
He looked back, confused because he thought he heard something.
"Oh! Nothing!" she waved a hand out, and continued to gently pet his side as she got down and sat next to him, the calm acceptance of her made her giggle again as he lowered his head down and closed his eyes, allowing her to do as she pleased.
